EMOTIONAL AND VOLITIONAL RELIABILITY AS A SUBJECT OF SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS

The article analyses the scientists' views on the phenomenon of “reliability”. The author pays special attention to the fact that the concept “reliability” is considered by the scientists as the systematic characteristic, which is characterized by the specific number of professional, psychological, physiological qualities and functions at the different levels of a person's activity. This activity provides stable and reliable work. It is found out that scientists think the quality is the most important property which provides definiteness to any phenomenon. Personal qualities that affect the maturity of emotional and volitional reliability are established. Scientific interpretation of the concept of “reliability” and the main features of performing reliability is revealed. The analysis of pedagogical and psychological literature proves that the emotional qualities are being formed throughout the life according to the person's environmental and genetic conditions. Emotional irritability, emotional stability, emotional tone, emotional reactions, emotional stability are the qualities which depend upon a type of a person's higher nervous activity. The person's activity, especially music one, can't exist without involving emotions and feelings. Music plays an important role; due to it emotions become conscious processes. Thanks to music the person's higher emotions (moral, intellectual, esthetic) are formed. It is noticed that individual differences in demonstration of emotions depend on a person's volitional qualities. Volition is considered to be a person's psychological activity that determines purposefulness of actions. The author concluded that the maturity level of emotional and volitional reliability depends on direction and resistance of socially significant motives (needs, interests, values, attitudes); personality's psychophysical traits (abilities, capacities), which provide the required level and effectiveness of musical activities; degree of development of personal qualities (thinking, memory, feeling, emotion, volition); completeness and depth of acquired special psychological and pedagogical skills as well as acquired musical and performing experience.
